It took an Ozaukee County jury just 28 minutes last week to find a Town of Grafton man guilty of first-degree reckless homicide in connection with the July 2017 heroin overdose death of his 32-year-old daughter.

Terry L. Hibbard, 60, was convicted of being a party to the crime of homicide, which means he aided and abetted the Milwaukee drug dealer who sold Taralyn Hibbard the fentanyl-laced heroin that killed her by giving her a ride to meet the dealer.

More than 70 people crowded into a small room at Concordia University Wisconsin last Thursday to hear the six candidates seeking seats representing Ozaukee County in the Wisconsin Assembly talk about the issues.

The candidates included incumbent Republicans Jim Ott of Mequon, who represents District 23, Dan Knodl of Germantown, District 24, and Rob Brooks of Saukville, District 60, and their Democratic challengers, Liz Sumner of Fox Point, Emily Siegrist of River Hills and Chris Rahlf of Cedarburg, respectively.
